pop your tail if you have one...or you could boneless, or early grab, or jump at the moment that you ride of the curb so it doesn't hit.

many possibilities....how about trying something first. i mean going off a curb is a pretty basic thing its like Standing and pushing on a skateboard..if you need someone to tell you how to do it, that isn't very good

1. find a curb
2. get on the top (sidewalk) side of curb
3. stand, with skateboard, (roughly) perpendicular to the curb
4. ride off.

any other life shattering questions we could help you out with?

If you go off diagonally it is easier sometimes. On longer boards if you go perpendicular you can hit the deck on the curb which can send you. If you go too much along the curb you can end up grinding. Just go fast and unweight.

yeah, it was kind of stupid question, but i only asked because i saw some guy ride off a curb but his board was parallel to the floor (should have mentioned that), i wasnt sure if thats normally what happens, but anyways i should just go try it

My tip is go fast. With enough speed I can ride my shlong off a curb, But only if I'm going fast enough.
